I’m a prairie kid who loves research. I have a Master’s in economics with a focus on public programs, labour and education. Long before that, I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor.
Besides my resume, you’ll find this page full of sewing projects, the odd published poem, and stories about Canadian science.
A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.
I was lucky enough to be on the editorial team for this project -- nothing like days and days of copy editing to make a soul happy. The best part of the report is that it's full of the coolest science papers to come out of the synchrotron in 2011. And there is seriously STUFF.
See the full report here.
